Visualize Security Risks for SAP Systems with Threat Maps
Threat Maps in SAP Solution Manager visualize security vulnerabilities, missing patches and open alerts for SAP systems across geolocations. They provide a fast and intuitive way to display and interact with security information for SAP landscapes that span multiple cities, countries, or regions.
System data is maintained in the Landscape Management Database (LMDB) of SAP Solution Manager. The LMDB stores information related to technical systems, hosts, databases and domains in SAP landscapes. This includes installed software components and versions, database types and releases, clients, instances, RFC destinations and OS details for SAP systems.
Attributes for systems are maintained directly in the LMDB. Systems can be assigned to business units using the Description attribute. The environment and priority level for systems are maintained using the attributes IT Admin Role and Priority. The coordinates for business units in terms of longitude and latitude are maintained in the Location attribute, separated by a comma.
The system attributes maintained in the LMDB integrate directly with the Threat Map, accessible from the Fiori launchpad in Solution Manager.
Users can switch between results for vulnerabilities, patches and alerts using the toolbar at the top of the application.
The size and opacity of geocircles is driven by quantitative and qualitative factors including volume, rating, environment and system priority.
Results are summarized for each business unit. However, users can drilldown to detailed results by clicking on the geocircles.
Map filters support filtering based on system, environment and priority.
Results can also be filtered by period to display results from the current day to the prior year.
The Threat Map can be customized to focus on specific countries or regions. Navigation tools support zoom in and out. The map also supports click and drag for navigation.
Map filters and positions can be saved to the Fiori launchpad as custom tiles.
The Threat Map is bundled in the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP Solution Manager available from Layer Seven Security.
